Storm trends in Australia and New Zealand? No evidence that CO2 increases extreme weather

Get ready — for all the fears of extreme weather coming our way — studies of Queensland, Victoria, the whole of SE Australia, New Zealand, and Perth show that either nothing is changing (there have always been bad storms) or possibly, the weather is better now than it used to be. Where is the evidence to support the claims by alarmists that increasing CO2 will make “extreme weather” more common?

It’s less windy now across South East Australia than it was in the 1920′s. It’s less stormy on the southern coast of Victoria, and records that go back 7000 years in New Zealand and 5000 years in Queensland show repeated examples of monster storms that — should they hit today, would be described as being “likely” due to coal fired power stations and excessive use of SUV’s.

The Science and Public Policy Institute published  Historical storm trends in Australia and New Zealand in June. This post builds on that publication.

Why would evidence be important? This is settled science. [/s]

I’m hitting the rack. Trying to re-arrange my sleeping habits more in line with getting up early. I have had it for a day of mental torture. Do have a great upcoming day.

In related but unreported news, it has now been 2466 days since the last major hurricane (magnitude 3 or greater) has made landfall in the continental US. This beats the old record of 2231 days set 19 Oct 1906.

Of course, this calm spell is due to Global Warming (as would be increased hurricane activity).

I was just at Whats up with that. Looks like the hype on the Greenland ice pack is bullshit. The news media would have everyone believe all the ice and snow melted away across the whole of Greenland. Huge pools of melted ice, whole continent colored "pink".
Well it taint so. Greenland Summit Station.
